I and my neighbors OR my neighbors and I are looking foward to the block party. Which is correct? I thought I came last but more and more I hear <I and...>

Thanks for answering!

I always say "My neighbours and I" It used to be considered more polite to put yourself second, but of late it has become quite common to start with "I". It is grammatically correct and makes the ego happy.
